Extractions: Radu Lupu Pianist Radu was born in Rumania and began studying the piano at the age of six with Lia Busuioceanu, making his public debut with a complete programme of his own music at the age of 12. He continued his studies for several years with Florica Muzicescu and Cella Delavranca before winning a scholarship in 1961 to the Moscow Conservatoire where he studied with Galina Eghyazarova, Heinrich Neuhaus and later with Stanislav Neuhaus. He won first prize in three competitions: the 1966 Van Cliburn, the 1967 Enescu International, and the 1969 Leeds International. In 1989 he was awarded the prestigious "Abbiati" prize, given by the Italian Critics' Association. He is regularly invited to play with all the great orchestras of the world including the Berlin Philharmonic, with whom he made his Salzburg Festival debut in 1978 with Karajan, the Vienna Philharmonic, with whom he opened the 1986 Salzburg Festival with Muti, the Royal Concertgebouw, all the major London orchestras, and all the great American orchestras. His first major America appearances were in 1972 with the Cleveland Orchestra and Barenboim in New York, and with the Chicago Symphony and Giulini. He has played at all the major music festivals and has been a regular guest at the Salzburg and Lucerne Festivals. Radu Lupu's recordings include: the Beethoven Piano Concertos with the Israel Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta; several Mozart Concertos; Brahms 1; Grieg and Schumann; the complete Mozart Violin and Piano Sonatas with Szymon Goldberg; and solo works by Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann and Schubert (Decca). He has also made two records with Murray Perahia (CBS), and two albums of Schubert Lieder with Barbara Hendricks (EMI). His most recent releases for Decca are Schubert's Sonatas in A major D664 and B flat major D960 which won a GRAMMY for 1995, and Schumann's Kinderszenen, Kreisleriana and Humoresque, which won an Edison Award for 1995 - in each case as the "Best Instrumental Record of the Year." Last year, for Teldec, he joined with Daniel Barenboim for a disc of pieces for four hands by Schubert.

Carnegie Hall: Radu Lupu & Daniel Barenboim The latest instalment was a four hand piano recital on Nov. 27, 2000, with Barenboimand Romanian pianist radu lupu. Commercially, it was a big success. http://www.scena.org/columns/anson/001127-PA-lupubarenboim.html
Extractions: Commercially, it was a big success. Not only was the hall sold out but the stage was covered with spectators, leaving only a narrow path for the pianists to enter and exit. The concerts drawing power can be attributed to the two stars, Barenboim and Lupu (each with is own distinct following), as well as the accessible all-Schubert program. The pianists sat side by side on two chairs and switched positions for each of the three pieces. For the opening Variations on an Original Theme in A-flat minor, D. 813 (1824), Barenboim took the top of the keyboard. In this role, he was the designated leader, and Lupu watched him closely. The rather flimsy work has no gripping merit and Barenboim seemed fully occupied sight reading the music in front of him. He ended each variation with the same emphatic flourish, as if to compensate for previous blandness. For Schuberts Fantasie in F minor, D. 940 (1828), Lupu took the top, and suddenly the music came alive. He produced a gorgeously resonant tone and, unlike Barenboim, he played from inside the music. When the two pianists echoed each other in repeated passages, Lupu impressed one as the more sensitive performer.

Extractions: A reserved personality who dislikes any kind of propaganda or selfpromotion, Radu Lupu is today at the height of his career as a pianist thanks to his exceptional and deeply intense capability for concentration and self-identification in the pages of music he plays. Regularly avoiding press conferences and complimentary advertising drives and fortunately immune from the risk or suspicion of routine, though at a very high level, Radu Lupu's performances in public show that he is a musician of profound and fascinating originality. Radu Lupu His chamber music recordings include a fine edition of the Sonatas for violin and piano by Mozart con Szymon Goldberg, a record album of lieders, again by Mozart, con Barbara Hendriks, extracts by Mozart and Schubert for piano with four hands with Murray Perahia (with whom he also recorded Mozart's Concerts for two pianos and orchestra). Several recitals have been dedicated to Schubert's Sonatas and Impromtus, together with other record albums dedicated to Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms. Sunday 19th May 1996
